*Imagines Mii function and a Wii version of Animal Crossing* ^^

I agree with what has mostly been said before. To try and say which console is better really depends on who is speaking. I mean, we can spend all day harping on about inovative gameplay and branchoing out into the non-gamer market and the quality of gameplay until the cows come home. But for some people the best graphics will always be the black and white definenition of good gaming.
Will insert something intelligent here later... maybe

Well yeh, I kinda forgot its name (isn't AC:Wii a working title?) but I haven't heard anything on it being Mii compatible though.
I just think it would be so cool if your Mii could be incorporated into the game.

Heh, all this talk about Nintendo reaching out to non-gamers and stuff, does anyone remember when Microsoft first released the Xbox? They were at E3 saying "Your grandmother is going to be playing Xbox!" Nintendo talking about the Wii appealing to non-gamers just reminds me of that Microsoft speech. XD;;

Anyway, just remember. The winner of the console war won't be Sony, Nintendo, or Microsoft. It'll be gamers. :D

Nice Point

Not directley but I'm sure the basis could be incorporated. Then again, if they did that, it would be just as well to have a similar interface that created a stylised character straight into the game. I still think it would be neat if you could download a Mii into a Animal Crossing-esque life sim and it converted it into a similar looking character for the game.

By the way:

Nintendo of America representative confirmed that Wii will not be region free as previously reported by various sources. (Source: 1UP.com)

Oh well, that sucks.

Well I can actually imagine my brother who's into sports playign Wii Sports. If he plays on my console it would be a lot cheaper than going to a batting cage or something. I don't think it will work as much as they think it will, but it has a lot to do with people willingness to try it out in the forst place. They are at least putting out games that could potentially have that appeal. Microsoft didn't really do that.

however if you look at their recent track record with the DS it might just work. When they cam out with brain age and some soodoku games people actualy bought them and most of them were first time gamers and not in the normal demografic so it all depends on the games.

I never understood this. I believe this encourages piracy. In todays internet market it would cost no less to ship a game from Japan to the US or the UK than it would to make a copy. If they were region free then most people wouldn't bother with buying an illegal copy.

At these prices the PS3 looks like a bargain...

$847.10 for my Wii.

That's really a shame. I don't want to play the english version of the bleach game >_>

I hope they make a wii freeloader or something. Or a modchip of sorts.

Materialistic envy much!! Its all about the suprise in my family but my mum is a detail freak so she needs to know every detail and specs of what you might want and where to get... and then she still goes to the trouble if buying it and hiding it. XD

Back on topic:
Has anyone found a vaguely decent (a.k.a not IGN) page o One Piece: Unlimited Adventure. I know details are scarce buy I'm really quite interested in it.
